State and federal investigators are looking into a hidden camera video of people getting ballots to vote in the New Hampshire primary after giving poll workers the names of people who recently died.

The online video is from Project Veritas, an organization founded by conservative activist James O'Keefe. The group said it went into 14 state polling locations Tuesday with hidden cameras and names of people who died so recently that their names were still on the registered voter lists.

"The voting ID laws in New Hampshire do not require one to show IDs when they vote, so we thought, what would happen if we went into these polling places and we gave them the name of the deceased person? Would we receive a ballot?" said Spencer Meads of Project Veritas. "And they did hand us ballots in almost every occasion."

The video was an attempt to highlight weaknesses in New Hampshire laws that don't require picture identification to get a ballot.

The group insisted it didn't break any laws and didn't claim to be another person when members gave the names of deceased people to poll workers. Gov. John Lynch said the group's actions should be investigated.

"I think it is outrageous that we have out-of-staters coming into New Hampshire, coming into our polling places and misrepresenting themselves to the election officials, and I hope that they should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, if in fact they're found guilty of some criminal act," he said.

Project Veritas said no votes were cast with the ballots it received.

House Speaker Bill O'Brien said the video is challenging New Hampshire's integrity and its first-in-the-nation primary.

"Ten years ago, Jimmy Carter and James Baker issued a report on electoral fraud, and one of the recommendations was voter ID," O'Brien said. "We need to get it done now."

O'Brien touted a bill, vetoed by Lynch, that would have required voters to show a picture ID before getting a ballot. Lynch said the bill would have disenfranchised voters.

The U.S. Attorney's Office and New Hampshire Attorney General's Office are investigating the video.
